After Migrating: Err_Too_Many_Redirects

[piku]

Hello!

 

After migrating a working shop (1.6.2) to a new server to act as a test installation to fool around with I cannot access the frontpage.

 

What I have done:

 

- copied all files

- changed the shop_url to "www.testshops.de/project/the-old-one" (same for SSL)

- deleted all browser cookies and caches

- changed all the file permissions to the php user (recursively and checked

- when deleting the content of the /cache folder on the server I got a white page

- I logged in the admin backend but the whole backend template is not available... (?)

 

I recreated a .htaccess by disabling SEO friendly URLs and then enabling again 

Still no backend theme...

 

I recreated a robots.txt.

 

 

On the frontpage of my shop I get the following error (debug mode enabled)

 

ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

 

After disabling the debug mode again I still get the same message.

 

I can not find information how to fix this error so, please, if anyone could help me out here?

 

thank you,

piku

Also when I try to disable the cache in the performance tab of the backend - the setting doesn't "stick" it always switches back to "use cache"...

 

Confused, p.

Ok, I am happy to report that I could solve the problem:

 

Url: "www.testshops.de/project/the-old-one" this doesn't work 

 

If I use a subdomain like "the-old-one.testshops.de" - now it works.

 

Which leaves me with two questions:

 

1. How can I configure the Url settings of the database to ensure I get this main url for my shop like this: 

" www.testshops.de /project/the-old-one/ "?

 

2. How to make sure the URL of the backoffice is also:

" www.testshops.de /project/the-old-one/admin9876/ "?

 

 

Shouldn't be to hard, I played around with the setting for "virtual_url" but I couldn't get it right....

 

Thx for helping,
